Having a new toy to play with, I thought of making a generator for... of all things, horses.

It could be nice to have something that makes a horse with a push of a button - the basic colour, the various unusual marks and little quirks, up to the psyche of the animal. Simply, a random template you can base a solid horse-NPC on.

There is already some stuff in: http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=1799 - feel free to put here more, as well as ideas on the generated categories, and how should the output look like. With some aid from your side, I may be able to make another little toy for us all.

Dun - light sandy colored coat with black mane and tail, often accompanied by a dark dorsal stripe extending from the line of the neck to the tail, and sometimes by stripes, or bars on the withers and legs. These are considered primitive markings. Dun can vary from yellow to a buckskin/mouse color. The skin is black.

Palomino - gold coat with white mane and tail.

Spotted - small, more or less circular patches of hair a different color from the main body color. Sometimes called Leopard Spots if the spots are small and in profuse number.

Piebald - large irregular patches of black and white.

Skewbald - large irregular patches of white, and any other color, except black.

Star - the horse has small spot, ot splash of white in the center of the face, usually near the top of the head, between eyes.

Stripe - thin verticle stripe of white running from the center of the face, down to the nose.

Snip Star - located on the nose, or muzzle of the horse.

Interrupted Stripe - snip, star, and a seperate bar between the two.

Blaze - wide white stripe extending from the top of the face down to the muzzle. Blazes are common.

White Face - the horse has a solid white face

Socks - generally a horse with white, or black feet or legs and a coat of a different color. Socks can range from coronets that are little more than a white ring around the top of the hoof to High socks that cover the majority of the leg. (This one will go to Spots.)

PoisonAlchemist: Man Muro, you boost my confidence and then you just go crush it with a heartbreaking work of staggering genius.Pariah: Don't tell him things like that, if his head gets any bigger he'll float off like a weather ballon :p

Flea biten - The horse has a white base coat that is covered with a profusion of small spots of color. Unlike a traditional appaloosa, these spots are roughly the size of a fingertip and are widely and fairly evenly dispersed across the horse. The spots can be palomino, bay or brown, liver, or black.

Leopard Appaloosa - Has a white base coat covered with hand sized or slightly larger spots. These spots can be the same colors listed above, though black and liver are the most common. (appy will confirm/deny this)

Blanket Appaloosa - This horse has a normal colored body, but has a white blanket across its rear quarters that is covered in spots.

On its face is an Interrupted Stripe - snip, star, and a separate bar between the two.

On the positive side, the horse has hard hooves, on the other hand, it has weak or light bones.

As for spots, it is a 'Leopard Appaloosa' - has a white base coat covered with hand sized or slightly larger spots. These spots can be the same colors listed above, though black and liver are the most common.
